Summertime Shenanigans: Encinitas Premiere

Summertime Shenanigans: Encinitas Premiere

17 Ok, so we backtracked a tad.  These photos are from Alex Cantin during the French Canadian invasion of Encinitas, CA.  We had our first major premiere in the tour here, and almost the entire crew showed up.  Lots of good times all around, but these following good times are through the eyes of the Quebecian Videograssers. 51 Camping! 31 I think the entire crew was Will Lavigne, Max Baillargeon, Alex Cantin, Louif Paradis, LNPenis, and Ben Bilocq.  They all camped out on the beach for about 2 weeks.  Surfing, video premieres, parties, camp fires, beers, bars, sugar cubes, sunsets, skateboarding, magazines, more video premieres, and ending it all with some snowboarding at the Bear contest. 61 Intense. In tents. 21 Max Baillargeon was lucky enough to wake up to the hairy manbeast known as Laurent Nicolas Paquin. 4 Alex getting ready to hang 10.  Apparently surfing is quite popular in southern California. 71 Larry with some sort of boogie body boarder wake skate thing?? 81 Camp fire.  Pretty sure this is in Liam Gallagher's back yard? I know it was really close to the camp site. 161 Can't roll through Southern California and not stop by the Snowboarder Magazine office.  Not sure what is so funny that Lance Hakker is showing Pat Bridges here? I would like to believe it is this... 171 Laurent and Max checking out some wall decor in the office. 18 Louie taking a casual stroll back towards Bridges' office. 19 Lance Hakker holding it down.  Tom Montessoro aka T-bird in the background hard at work. 20 Louie, Ben, Max, and Alex filling out some Guestbook action. 91 After that, everyone was feeling magish and took a little stop by the friends at Transworld. 101 Some skate action inside the Transworld park.  From the looks of the photo I would say Laurent didn't land this 360 flip.  But check the video for some makes. 112 The skateparks in California require helmets.  Louie looks like one of them bobble head figures. 121 Laurent and Lindsay Robertson straight chillin' 131Larry putting on an airshow. 141 Une tequila, deux tequila, trois tequila, quatre tequila, cinq tequila. 151 This guy again. Snarski bringing that thunder from down under. 24 Larry thumb gunning a beer at the Transworld premiere. 26 Transworld had free food.  Maybe next year we will have a premiere with free food? 28 Alex getting sauced at the TWS premiere along with TWS' very own, double fisting, Ben Gavelda. 211 The next night was the Videograss/Hard 2 Earn premiere.  Everyone got down on some skate action pre premiere.  Laurent rockin the top. 22 Ben Bilocq almost getting that coping. 29 Out front of La Paloma. The spot of the premiere. Left to right: Alex Cantin, Louie Paradise, Jan Snarski, Ben Bilocq, and someone with a wicked afro. 25 Larry picking the dog shit off his shoe with his bare 33 Jan fell in love the night of the premiere.  Hopefully things panned out and he will soon be an American citizen! 23 Back at base camp late that night.  From the looks of it Alex didn't stay sober. 34 Pretty sure this is at the Forum premiere the following night.  Ben, Max, Larry, and Will claiming some good seats. A little un-cut video from Alex.  Bunch of skate action in this one. 36 Thats all from Alex. Lets end it on this pretty little sunset photo.
